Transparency as an Environmental Factor that Influences Cognitive Visuo-locomotive Experience in Large-scale Buildings

The paper examines the relationship between the visuo-locomotive experience, the types of people’s movement, and the spatial memory. Two movement tasks (exploration and navigation) and their correlation to the environmental factor of transparency are analyzed through a multi-modal perspective in a large-scale built environment, the New Parkland Hospital in Dallas.
